Modman Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I'd reccomend an Ibanez SR series basses, especially the premium ranges and upwards. They're light, small and thin with great hardware and pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like the string spacing but that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Now that you mention it, I actually own a 1205 and I absolutely love it. My previous bass had small string spacing so i felt at home with it. So yeah, two thumbs up for the 1205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Rim Marseer is probably the shortest (end of neck - end of body wise) I've played, but is very wide. So depends on what part of 'small' you're looking for. As above, Roscoe LG is very petite. Some of the old Steinberger stuff. Zeta Crossover. Status Streamline. There's loads of little uns' out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
